Into the Darkness

Ernesto POV

Ernesto POV

When papa and I walked out of the restroom I saw Angel hugging my mama from behind and then I looked up and I saw that her whole back was covered in scars and I was shocked, and I said mama! He looked at me and Angel stepped away and papa went to mama and held her in his arms and mama started to cry even harder. How could I not have known something like this and not only that, but who the f**k hurt my mama like this. Angel was still crying, and I went to her and hugged both her and my mama. After they calmed down, I asked papa who did this to mama, and she looked at me and she said it was her papa that beat her. I was shocked and I asked what happened to him and papa said that when he found mama she was bleeding and barely alive and he took her from my grandpa and then he killed him so that he could never hurt my mama again.  I knew about the scars on mamas’ arms and when I asked papa to bring mama with him its because mama has so much empathy and compassion for others and that is what Angel needed because I was not sure that I could show her. But mama was able to give her so much more than I thought possible. I went to my mama and kneeled before her and told her that I was so sorry that she had to go through all of that and I held her in my arms tight and kissed her forehead.

I went to sit down with Angel, and I held her in my arms and I told papa that I have to get Angel out of here and put her somewhere safe because there are eyes on the street looking for her. She looked up at me and she said what do you mean Ernesto and I told her that Emiliano had called while she was asleep, and I didn’t answer his call because I would not have been able to control myself. I told her that he left a voicemail though and I put my phone on speaker and played it for them. She barked out a laughter and said that fuckin piece of s**t doesn’t give a s**t about her. Then she looked up and covered her mouth with her hand and with wide eyes looked at my mama and papa and she apologized for speaking disrespectfully in front of them. Mama laughed out loud as did papa. I told Angel that just because she has that name that it doesn’t mean she has to act like one and mama said that she is free to be herself and should not have to censor who she really is. Angel’s cheeks were bright red in embarrassment. She looked so beautiful at this moment, I pulled her towards me and kissed her on her forehead. She smiled at me and hugged me, and I could feel her warm cheeks against the side of my neck.

Papa asked Angel what she wants to do, and she said that her only request is that someone teach her how to fight and kill. She looked papa in the eyes and said that she wants to kill Emiliano, Chino and Beto for what they did to her. Papa and I looked at Angel and I said I thought that it was just Emiliano that raped her, and she said no that they all did. They took turns and held her down while each one took their turn. I got up and yelled and punched a hole in the wall. I couldn’t believe that those motherfuckers would do that to her, and papa got up and laid a hand on my shoulder and said mijo calm down and he said that we will take care of this. He turned to Angel and grabbed her by the shoulders, and he told her mija I will teach you what you want to know. I turned towards papa and I told him NO that I don’t want her anywhere near those f*****g dogs! Papa looked at me and he said mijo if this is what she wants, I cut him off and I asked him did he give mama the chance to kill her papa? He stayed quiet and he turned to Angel and she looked at him. Her shoulders slumped down, and she walked towards me and looked up at me and she said Ernesto please make him suffer for me. I picked her up in my arms and looked her in the eyes and she put her arms around my neck, and I told her that I will make him wish that he was never born. She smiled at me and she said good and then pecked my lips with hers and hugged me tightly. I couldn’t believe that she just kissed me, f**k her lips are so soft. I looked over her shoulder papa, and mama both smiled at me. I smiled back and I swear on my life I will kill for this woman!

Some say that there is no greater sin then disloyalty to those you consider family. I am the darkness that has walked onto the valley of the shadow of death. For I will fear no evil but if you f**k me over, you can rest assured that you will meet your maker. I am honor bond to protect my family. Loyalty, honesty, and sacrifice are the key fundamentals that I have followed when it comes to my family. There is no half in or half out. I am my family’s keeper and I will never let any harm come to them. I will beat you black and blue and not bat an eyelash for anything I do. My word is mightier than a sword, like a double edge knife my words will cut you down. In this world I would rather be feared then loved. I want the person that I am going to hurt to know what is coming to them. I want to hear their agonizing screams and them begging for their pathetic lives.
